Women who figure in public usually
like to be interviewed. They are less
cautious than men about expressing their
convictions but they are more particular
about having their exact language
printed. Unlike most men. the women
want to see the reporters note book
when they talk for publication. "What
is the use of my telling you all these
things if you are not going to put them
down. Anna Dickinson once said to the
writer That energetic lady was not
satisfied with the assurance that her in
reviewers memory was as good as a
note book, she wanted to have the inter-
view-which was about her plans as an
actress written out then and there SO
that she might read it over and revise it.
OF course she had her own way She
fixed up the interview to her own liking
and the interviewer turned it in to the
man with the blue pencil who sits at the
city editor desk. That critical person
cut out about four-fifths of Anna talk
and quite naturally the next day she had
something to say about the total deprav-
ity of newspaper reporters.-New York

Pursuing the Mighty Dollar.

The pursuit of the dollar is responsible
for the wreck of countless lives. 1t makes
young men old, and adds physical de-
bility to the sorrows of old age. In the
unceasing effort to obtain riches the best
objects of human existence are driven out
of sight. Families are neglected, and the
pleasures of home left untasted. In Eng
land, the prince merchant is content with
wha< is gained by few hours at the
desk. The rest of his time is given to
such enjoyments as his means may per-
nit He is enthusiastically devoted to
his family, and in old age is as jolly as a
sandboy; sleeps well, eats almost too well,
and is comparatively free from pains and
aches. 1t is a fact that thousands of our
wcalthiest merchants, in their prosperity,
work as hard as they did when com
mencing life. Custom has grown into
habit, and things without interest from
the business point of view have no flavor.
So long as good health remains, such
slavery has its compensations; but. when
the physical and mental condition will
stand the strain do longer, the way to the
end is gloomy and vretched. the pains
and aches arising from persistent over
work embittering every moment to the
last.-Herald of Health.

The Ruling Mood.

The law of correspondence between
spiritual and material things is wonder
fully exact in its working. People ruled
by the mood of gloom attract to them
gloomy things. People always discour-
aged and respondent do not succeed in
anything, and live only by burdening
some one else. The hopeful, confident,
and cheerful attract the elements of sue
cess. A mans front or back yard will
advertise the mans ruling mood. in the
way it is kept a woman at home shows
her state of mind in her dress. A slat-
tern advertises the ruling mood of hope
lessness. carelessness, and lack of system.
Rags. tatters and dirt are always in the
mind before being on the body. The
thought that is most put out brings its
corresponding visible element to crystal
lie about you, as surely and literally as
the visible bit of copper in solution al
tracts to it the invisible copper in that
solution. A mind always hopeful, conf
dent. and courageous, and determined on
its set purpose. and keeping itself to that
purpose, attracts to itself out of the ele-
ments things and powers favorable to that
purpose. -Prentice milford.

Won BulOw's Lead Pencils.

Hans Won Bulow, on his first appoint
ment to the leadership of the orchestra
at a German court theatre, introduced
himself to his musicians carrying a small
parcel under his arm. This he proceeded
to unfold with great sOlemnity, produc-
ing therefrom twenty-five pencils, which
he distributed among the members of his
orchestra, requesting them, in a lengthy
speech, to make use of them for the
purpose of inserting his remarks and al
terations in their several parts. After
Hans Won Bulow had resigned his post,
his successor appeared at the desk. where
he solemnly opened little parcel. say
ing: Il have been told that my predeces-
sor, II. Won Bulow, on his accession to
Office, handed each of you "A pencil, ask

PIEREPONT House, |
BROOKLYN, Feb. ), 1887.

BROOkLiN, FeD. ., 1891.
came here nearly two weeks since.
1t is a quiet and excellent hotel, and they
charge me but Sl5 week, fires, lights,
room and board. Mr.. Peed, who keeps
it, is an old friend, having been several
times to Bread Loaf with his family.
1t occurs to me to mention two or three
things in the politics of the day. In the
first place we notice the remarks in the
Senate upon Mr.. Beck's bill prohibiting
members of Congress from acting as at
torneys for railroads which are under
obligations to the government. and in re-
gard to which they may be called upon
to legislate. The equity of this bill is
opposing it. Mr.. Edmunds has placed
himself on the wrong side for the same
reason that, as our Chief Justice, Mr..
Royce, he failed to give in his tax list
because it touched his pocket. But
notice he has kept quiet lately. He knows
better than to oppose it. Not that |
doubt Mr.. Edmunds' ability to vote
straight whcthe he has received any
fees or not; but Mr.. Edmunds is rare
man, and we do not think, and we be-
lieve the people do not think. that he
would be Influenced at such a time, but
many men, if not most, would. The
safe principle is that Congressman should
not be employed by these roads, and the
question having come up the people will
not let it rest until it is so decided. If
our Congressman ought to be paid more,
and it is quite certain that they ought,
let them bepaid $40, 900 instead of $1,000.
Ten thousand is none too much. Mr..
Beck, Democrat from kentucky, in the
controversy on the bill. appeared well.
1t was unnecessary for him to reply at
all to the personal attacks made upon
him and we hope he will nat do it again
He can well afford to leave all that to the
people. Several of the other Senators
appeared very badly, notably Mr.. Sails
bury and -, making personal attacks
upon Mr.. Beck, and losing their tempers
as persons always do when they art
wrong.
The interstate commerce bill we notice
Mr.. Cleveland has signed. 1t is evident
" a necessary measure, though very
likely it will have to be materially al
tered and amended.
We also notice the editorial in the REG
IsTER that "Senator Edmunds presented
